Popular Post bob smith Posted March 15 Popular Post Share Posted March 15 that's my tipple for today. I am pressing the self destruct button. I am powerless against the booze. AA wont do anything for me, nor will telling myself I have a problem. The sun is shining, the ice is cold, what's not to like? Tonight I am heading out with a few thai friends. They said they will give me pointers on how to be more thai. I will observe them, see what they do and try and copy. they are all hard drinkers. bob. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been around here for 30 years and not one guy I know has a male Thai friend. So you are incapable of making friends with Thai’s & project the same failings onto everyone else ? Its perfectly believable that many long term westerners have close Thai friends, I do, as do many of my friends. That said, with the anti-Thai sentiment expressed by Bob in other threads the reality of him having Thai friends is somewhat surprising. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s somewhat different then… The close Thai friends I have I trust implicitly, just as I do my close non-Thai friends…. Perhaps because it’s clear there is no hidden resentment or underlying (unfounded) judgement (& we also rip the pi$$ out of each other). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rephrase- you have yet to meet a Thai male you don’t ’suspect’ of having a hidden agenda… Understandable if making acquaintances outside of (below) your ‘socio-economic’ status… … but, building mutually respectful relationships with those of similar socio-economic-educational status (of any nationality) takes time, trust builds over years.

In other words they are alcoholics who, like you, don't really know about the other alcoholics that they find themselves washed up next to. Reason being that, like you (and every other alky in the world) they talk only about about themselves and have no interest in anybody, or anything, else. Nothing else except, of course, your precious ******* alcohol....how you drink it, how you mix it, when you drink it, how it makes you feel, what you feel like when you can't get it. Other people, including other alcoholics, are only there to be talked at...... not listened to. You talk only about your self-absorbed, self-indulgent, self-loathing, self-pitying, out of control, car crash of a life (as you do on AN) and don't listen.......they talk only about themselves and don't listen. That is the essence of "friendship" among alcoholics. Complete ******* bores the lot of you. Edited March 15 by Enoon 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
